Counselor Education Practicum/Internship

The counselor education program consists of a practicum and internship experiences.  

Student Responsibilities

The student responsibilities within SL&L are divided into three distinct activities

Time Logs

Students must log all activities completed during practicum and internship within the appropriate course in SL&L. Practicum has a 100 hour requirement and Internship has a 600 hour requirement. It is imperative that students with questions on how to achieve those minimum hour requirements along with categorizing their hours as Direct or Indirect need to be addressed with their assigned university supervisor.  

Reviewing the CCS-R

Students will have to review the CCS-R evaluation form completed by their site and university supervisor. The CCS-R addresses the professional skills and dispositions of being counselor during Practicum and Internship. The results of the completed CCS-R should provide the student feedback on which skills and/or dispositions need to be improved when moving to the next phase in the process.
